Pre-Abortion Safety Checklist Clackamas, OR<\/strong><\/p>

Ending a pregnancy is never an easy choice. If you\u2019re considering abortion, it\u2019s natural to have questions and concerns. You\u2019re not alone.

Step 1: Confirm Your Pregnancy<\/strong><\/p>

While this may sound like an odd question, are you sure you\u2019re actually pregnant? Getting an ultrasound can be an important next step in evaluating all your pregnancy options.<\/p>

We offer pregnancy verifications in Clackamas, which are determined by the date of your last menstrual period (LMP). Some doctors or clinics require pregnancy verification before allowing you to make an appointment with them regarding your pregnancy. This pregnancy verification is the official document<\/strong> that serves as the proof of pregnancy for insurance companies; community agencies that provide services like the W.I.C. program<\/a>, employers, and will be needed if you obtain an abortion.<\/p>

Most importantly, remember you are not alone as you consider your options. Obria Medical Clinics<\/a> is here to empower and equip you to make an informed decision. The earlier you know, the more time you have to plan.<\/p>

Step 2: Verification Ultrasound<\/strong><\/p>

Once your pregnancy is confirmed, you then need to confirm that it is a viable pregnancy; that the pregnancy is healthy and will carry to term on its own. You might not know that 1 in 5 pregnancies end in miscarriage<\/strong><\/a> on their own, with the majority of them occurring during the first trimester of pregnancy.<\/p>

The best way to ensure that you have a viable pregnancy is through a verification ultrasound<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 Ultrasounds tell you the location of your pregnancy (to ensure it\u2019s not an ectopic pregnancy) and the approximate gestational age of your pregnancy, which determines what abortion procedures are available to you.<\/p>
